You have a legitimate concern that a user may not be on the same network as the printer(s) he may want to contact. That's of concenn with CUPS 2.3 and has been addressed elsewhere in this thead. The link I gave should allay any worries that the issue will not be tackled in a future CUPS 3.0. How an enterprise treats its Linux-using employees or visitors is not within the scope of CUPS. -- Brian.
